lesson 5

Our era today is a long way from the old era by way of living, work and relaxation. Tragic to say, a significant part of the great things appreciated by elderly folks like gardening classes are no more accessible to the new era and a percentage of the livelihood, social and values classes are likewise minimized because of accentuation on the real subjects like English, Mathematics and Science. In this lesson, we gave significance on the discriminating contrasts in the middle of old and youthful which make an era hole. Much of the time, life has been easily slower for oldies. In any case, new era was presented to brisk flicking feature diversions, cellular telephone messaging, associating through the sites and downloading.
What Old Generation likes may not be the same as what the New Generation prefers in Life, Work and Leisure.
Much of the good things enjoyed by elders when they were students are no longer available to the new generation.
Vocational, Cultural and Values classes that are widely used by old generations during their time today, it is also available but it has been minimized due to the emphasis on the basics of English, Mathematics and Science

Text vs. Visual

Our parents read book text, enrich by illustrations and photos. In order to research, they go to the school library, use the card catalogue for needed books and sign up to borrow books for home reading.

The technology or digital generation has greater affinity to visuals (photo and video) compared with texts. In fact, they have been exposed since childhood to cable television and videos images especially cartoon characters and then to compute images, in such manner and their visual fluency or abilities have sharpened and enriched.

Linear vs. Hyper Media

The past-30 year old generation obtained information in a linear, logical and sequential manner. On the positive side, this made them more logical, focused and reflective thinkers.

The new generation, however, follows a personal random access to hyperlinked digital information, less superior elders in focused and reflection. Thus, they appear to be more easily bored and distracted during class lectures.

Independent vs. Social Learners

The traditional education system gives priority to independent learning, prior to participative work.

New learners, however, are already acquainted with digital tools that adapt to both personal and participative work. They take the opportunity for dozens of instantaneous ways to communicate with others mobile calls and text, emails, Facebook, YouTube, Myspace, twitter, wikis and etc. experts describe this mode of digital learning as one that based on experimentation, discovery and intuition.

Learning to do vs. To pass the test

Old teachers teach students in order to help them pass tests and complete the course requirement.

On the other hand, the new digital learners simply wish to acquire skills, knowledge and habits as windows of opportunity afford them to learn. Our parents have completed a course and have engaged in a permanent job for most of their lives. A different work situation awaits the digital generation with contractual, multitask and multi-career opportunities in a digital world ahead of them.

Delayed rewards vs. Instant gratification

The traditional reward system in education consists in the grades, honor certificates/medals and diplomas. Including future jobs, the traditional rewards for the performance.

On the other hand. Digital learners on their own experience or more immediate gratification through immediate scores from games, enjoyable conversation from web-cam calls, excitement from email chats and inviting comments from their Facebook accounts.

Rote memory vs. Fun learning

Teachers feel too obliged to delivering content-based courses, the learning of which is measurable by standard tests.

Digital learners and not surprisingly there is much fun in the digital world outside the school

experience
Everybody can have less demanding access to training or learning due to innovation, such as having much clear and conceivable route by 3D models or visuals tests in web. In our class, we favor having 3D visuals or models and electronic presentations than simply unimportant address and stuck materials. Additionally, when we are having microteaching we lean toward having features to expound and show different visuals about our lesson, if not, we are having printed photographs. So far this helped our instructors and for us as understudies on conveying and comprehension the lessons.

Reflection


As we are in these present day times, we, as a future instructor ought to make something new and something else in the teaching and learning procedure. What I mean is the sort of procedure that we ought to consolidate to the learner so they will dependably be intuitive in reacting to learning. Conventional method for educating can in some cases be a weight for those learners who grasped the progressed mechanical framework. Also, they feel sufficiently sluggish in managing those instructors who are as yet honing the customary system. Nonetheless, customary system is great however in the event that we stay with one and only strategy, there is no learning advancement. Cutting edge educating is a result of innovation and since we are as one with the present day times, we are obliged to be mindful of the considerable number of things that are identified with innovation.

Application


Based on our personal experience, we, students make it to the point that we already exert effort upon doing the task given to us. But as we observed that updated technologies could really help us to accomplish the task. As future educators, we have to be aware and active in adopting educational technology practices. Since, following the modern trends technology-related education is very essential to acquire knowledge in achieving an appropriate way of teaching-learning process.
